How do you treat akathisia? Help please

How do you treat akathisia when it goes from mild to more severe?

What does yours feel like ? Mine feels like this inner weird feeling like I can jump out my skin, and constantly squeezing or moving the limbs… very horrible. I get it mainly on my right side

have you tried propranolol?

Feels like energy about to burst inside. Got it from Seroquel a doctor prescribed at a top hospital to “help with sleep” in benzo withdrawal.

have you tried propranolol?

 

Once. It didn't really work well for me.

Has anyone tried Vitamin B6 for it? There is clinical research on its effectiveness vs propranolol.

This goes pretty in depth on what’s going on in your body and how to repair mitochondria /dna and dopamine naturally. 

Hello again, Rebecca29.

 

As you know, your question and my reply about Vitamin B6 was (appropriately) moved to our Alternative Therapies & Supplements board.  That board is not viewable by guests (individuals who are not registered members of BenzoBuddies but can access the public-facing portions of the forum).  Consequently, I am reposting the resources I shared with you here in hope they might be of help to guests as well as other readers who are suffering from akathisia themselves or know someone who is.

 

Chris Paige is a trauma-informed therapist and coach who survived akathisia and offers consultations to individuals who are withdrawing from psychiatric drugs.  He is also the founder and executive director of a non-profit institute dedicated to improving the lives of individuals suffering from medication-induced akathisia.
